Incessant rain has lashed many parts of Vellore town, including the Bengaluru Highway (NH 48) and neighbouring towns like Ambur, Vaniyambadi, and Arani, for the past few days.
Towns like Vellore, Ranipet, Tirupattur, and Tiruvannamalai districts witnessed sudden showers that lasted for over an hour. This brought much-needed respite to residents because the temperature had reached nearly 40 degrees Celsius early last week.
“Sudden rain has helped to ease the heat in Vellore town, which has been experiencing severe heat since early April. It also helps to recharge ground water in the town,” said S. Vimala, a resident of Vellore.
